"8.8.10 - Arrows Away<br /> <br /> Back at Gainsborough Old Hall today with WAGscreen, shooting some of the final scenes of the ""Time Traveller"" short film. There was also a full scale re-enactment going on over the weekend, of which yesterday's banquet was part. So between shooting our scenes we enjoyed watching the re-enactors. This is archery practice on the lawn after Sunday morning prayers, which was compulsory in 15th century Britain. I was lucky to catch 2 arrows in flight here, and amazed at how accurate these traditional longbows could be. Twelve shots a minute, most of them bang on target, showed why this was the most effective weapon of the time.<br /> <br /> There is a gallery of the day here, and I still have many shots to add to it;       <br /> <a href=""http://www.lightanddreamsphotography.com/History/UNDER-SIEGE-1470/13254959_9th9M#962969987_bCsQT"">http://www.lightanddreamsphotography.com/History/UNDER-SIEGE-1470/13254959_9th9M#962969987_bCsQT</a>"
